1. Assignment deadline Monday Explain in a one page essay, how an iron alloy can be designed to emulate the nickel based superalloy, containing ordered precipitates which are coherent with the matrix. For information on nickel based alloy see: http://www.msm.cam.ac.uk/phase- trans/2003/Superalloys/superalloys.html

2. Interstices in Cubic-I, Cubic-F and HCP Structures Crystallography H. K. D. H. Bhadeshia

4. C 62 pm Ni 126 pm Fe 124 pm Cr 130 pm (Andrew Fairbank)

5. silicon in iron carbon in iron

6. Insterstitial solid solution strengthening (Ghosh & Olson)

7. Cubic-I Close-packed direction? (Andrew Fairbank) Ferrite

8. radius of iron atom in ferrite

9. octahedral interstice in ferrite point group symmetry? Carbon does not fit. Therefore, placing in octahedral site reduces the tetragonality of the site.

10. Largest atom that can fit in octahedral site

11. tertrahedral interstice in ferrite Vector joining centres of iron and carbon?

12. Structure projection of 4 unit cells of ferrite What it the vector joining iron and carbon atom neighbours? x y

13. structure projection

15. 3 octahedral sites per Fe 6 tetrahedral sites per Fe

16. austenite cubic-F

18. octahedral interstice in austenite point group symmetry? Carbon does not fit. It causes uniform expansion.

19. Largest atom that can fit in octahedral site

20. tertrahedral interstice in austenite Vector joining centres of iron and carbon?

22. Insterstitial solid solution strengthening (Ghosh & Olson)

23. ferrite austenite

24. Ferrite Carbon in smaller anisotropic octahedral interstices Resulting strain is anisotropic Strong interaction with deviatoric and dilatational strain fields of dislocations Intense strengthening 3 octahedral and 6 tetrahedral holes per iron

25. Austenite carbon in larger isotropic octahedral interstices therefore, behaves like substitutional solute with weak interactions with dislocations mild strengthening 1 octahedral and 2 tetrahedral holes per iron

26. (a) BAIN STRAIN (c) Body-centered tetragonal austenite (d) Body-centered cubic martensite a a a 1 2 3 b 3 b 1 b 2 (b)

27. tetragonal martensite?
